May 28th, 2021

Welcome to Friday everybody!

And it’s the last one of May 2021.

You did it! We did it! June is next.

And now: To the links!

What the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Destroyed – The New York Times

[self explanatory]

This is extremely well researched and executed.

It is paywalled, but it is worth it.

Kick the Ball Back

“Come on then!”

Click and hold the foot, and carefully kick the ball back to the kids.

It’s hard!

Japanese Mascot Characters Get Stuck

I’m late to the game on this one but… they’re funny!

Arrow Hero

Press the same arrow direction as the one shown when it’s over the target area.

It gets challenging very quickly. Tougher than it sounds. Super fun!

Welcome back Friday fans!

And where I live it’s a long weekend.

Not that that means as much with… all of this going on.

But still!

And now: to the links!

ARTE Concert

A huge collection of live performances, crossing most genres, for free, online.

Car Design History

“A data visualization celebrating the work of the great Italian design studios”

Kind of a weird interface but man if you love mid-century European sports cars this site is for you.

Terms and Conditions Apply

“A mini-game about pop ups, and the deviousness of websites and apps”

This is pretty well conceived.

Cats n Wires

A fun, challenging, tiny, adorable platformer.

Hey look! We made it! It’s Friday!

Have a wonderful weekend everybody.

Hey it’s Friday!

That was a very fast week, and I’m seeing a LOT of people getting their Covid vaccines (me included)!

Yay!

Much more positive feeling this week. I like it. We need it!

And now: to the links!

Social Media in Real Time

[self explanatory]

Not tracked here yet: TikTok

Every Noise At Once

A huge, HUGE list of musical genres, each of which will play a sample of that type of music when clicked.

From baroque cello to progressive house to black metal: this site has it.

The interface is a little daunting but it’s very comprehensive.

Jonk Photography – Naturalia: Chronicle of Contemporary Ruins

“As a child, I saw a wildlife documentary that marked my life. It focused on the melting of the ice caps and its consequences on polar bears’ life. I still remember this bear that struggled to swim and find a piece of ice floe. It seems that ‘children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.’ (Dr Haim Ginott). This vision marked me so much that during all my childhood, every time any of my parents did anything that seemed bad for the environment, it told them this sentence: ‘Watch out, you kill the bears!!'”

“Jonk” is photographer Jonathan Jimenez.

Some great work here. And quite a story.
